Paper 20: Financial Analysis & Business Valuation Time Allowed: 3 hours Full Marks: 100 This paper contains 4 questions, representing two separate sections as prescribed under syllabus 2012. All questions are compulsory, subject to the specific guidance/ instructions stated against every question. All workings, wherever necessary, must form a part of your answer. Assumptions, if any, should be clearly stated. Question No. 1. (Answer all questions. Each question carries 10 marks) 1(a)(i). A company manufacturing electronic equipments is currently buying 'Component A' from a local supplier at a cost of 30 each. The company has a proposal to install a machine for the manufacture of the component. Two alternatives are available as under: A. Installation of Semiautomatic machine involving an annual fixed expenses of 18 lakhs and a variable cost of 12 per component manufactured. B. Installation of Automatic machine involving an annual fixed cost of 30 lakhs and a variable cost of 10 per component manufactured. Required: (I) Find the annual requirement of components to justify a switch over from purchase of components to (A) manufacture of the same by installing semiautomatic machine and (B) manufacture of the same by installing automatic machine. (II) If the annual requirements of the component is 5,50,000 units, which machine would you advise the company to install? (III) At what annual volume would you advise the company to select automatic machine instead of semiautomatic machine? [5] Answer of 1(a)(i): (1) Statement Showing Comparative Output required Particulars Semiautomatic Automatic Purchase price of component 30 30 Less: Variable cost 12 10 Saving 18 20 Components required to be produced to justify the installation of the machine 18,00,000 18 30,00,000 20 1,00,000 units 1,50,000 units (2) Selection of Machine (when annual requirement is 5,50,000 units) Particulars Semiautomatic Automatic Variable costs 66,00,000 55,00,000 Add: Fixed costs 18,00,000 30,00,000 Total 84,00,000 85,00,000 () () Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 3

The total cost in case of semiautomatic machine is less and hence it will be beneficial to install semiautomatic machine. (3) Volume of Output for Automatic Machine Particulars Semiautomatic Automatic Difference Fixed costs 18,00,000 30,00,000 (-) 12,00,000 Variable costs 12 10 +2 Volume required to justify automatic machine = 12,00,000/ 2 = 6,00,000 components. () Analysis -The minimum volume required to justify the installation of automatic machine is 6,00,000 units or more. 1(a)(ii). Calculate the trend percentage from the following figures of Tenta Ltd. and interpret them. Year Sales Revenue ( 000) Inventory ( 000) Earnings before Tax ( 000) 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 1,995 2,390 2,805 3,140 3,650 820 910 940 1,055 1,368 325 422 478 549 699 [5] Answer of 1(a)(ii): The trend value of an accounting number of current years will be calculated as below: Tenta Ltd. Trend Percentage (Base year: 2010-11) Year Sales Revenue Inventory Earnings before Tax Amount ( in 000) Trend Value Amount ( in 000) Trend Value Amount ( in 000) Trend Value 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 Interpretation: 1,995 2,390 2,805 3,140 3,650 100.0 119.8 140.6 157.4 183.0 820 910 940 1,055 1,368 100.0 111.0 114.6 128.7 166.8 325 422 478 549 699 100.0 129.8 147.1 168.9 215.1 1. The sales increased in all the years over the period of study. Particularly, in the last year of the period of the study, the increase in sales was quite satisfactory. While comparing to 100 in the base year 2010-11, the percentage jumped from 157.4 in 2013-14 to 183.0 in 2014-15. 2. It is being noted that over the first four years of the period of study inventory increased more or less consistently along with sales. But in the last year, inventory jumped to 166.8% from 128.7% of just previous year as compared to 100 in the base year 2010-11. Excessive inventory is not desirable from the profitability point of view. So further investigation is required to see whether the purchase of material was more than what was required in Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 4

the last year of the period of study or whether slow moving items got accumulated. 3. Profit before tax has increased very satisfactorily over the period of study. It was more than doubled just in five years period. Particularly in the last year the comparative increase was very impressive as compared to others years. The analysis of trend percentages of sales revenue, inventory and earnings before tax reveals that Tenta Ltd. expanded in all directions in just five years time. It should be further noted that the profit increased more than the sales revenue in all the years. It indicates that the company exercised proper control over cost of goods sold. So it can be concluded that the performance of the company was satisfactory. 1(b). The following informations are related to the financial statements of Square Infotech Ltd. are as follows: ( in crores) Particulars As at 31.03.15 As at 31.03.14 () () 1. Share capital 1,121 931 2.

Profit after tax [3-4] 1,468 1,215 You are required to: (I) Compute and analyse the return on capital employed (ROCE) with the help of Du-Pont analysis. Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 5

(II) Compute and analyse the average inventory holding period and average collection period. (III) Compute and analyse the return on equity (ROE) by bringing out clearly the impact of financial leverage. [10] Answer of 1(b): A. As per Du-Pont analysis, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) = Net Profit ratio Capital Turnover ratio Operating profit before interest and tax Sales Sales Capital employed In the year 2013-14, Operating profit before interest and tax = 1,368 crores Sales = 17,849 crores Capital employed = (3,186 + 12,630 8,474) crores = 7,342 crores Net Profit ratio = 7.66% Capital Turnover ratio = 2.43 times Therefore, ROCE = 18.61% In the year 2014-15, Operating profit before interest and tax = 1,756 crores Sales = 23,436 crores Capital employed = (3,517 + 15,383 10,622) crores = 8,278 crores Net Profit ratio = 7.49% Capital Turnover ratio = 2.83 times Therefore, ROCE = 21.20% Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) has increased in the year 2014-15 as compared to 2013-14 because capital turnover ratio has increased. This indicates better sales effort or effective use of capital by the firm. Capital turnover ratio has increased because sales with respect to capital employed in the firm have comparatively increased. B. 12 Average Inventory Holding Period Inventory Turnover Rtaio Cost of goods sold Inventory Turnover Ratio Closing stock In the year 2013-14, 10,996 Inventory Turnover Ratio = 4.329 times 2,540 12 Average Inventory Holding Period 2.77 months or 83 days 4.329 In the year 2014-15, Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 6

15,179 Inventory Turnover Ratio 5.603 times 2,709 12 Average Inventory Holding Period 2.14 months or 64 days 5.603 The average inventory holding period has got reduced in the year 2014-15 as compared to the year 2013-14. This shows that the company has been in a position to improve its turnover with lower inventory. 12 Debtors Average Collection Period Annual credit Sales In the year 2013-14, 12 9,428 Average Collection Period 6.34 month or 190 days 17,849 In the year 2014-15, 12 9,468 Average Collection Period 4.85 month or 145 days 23,436 The average collection period has reduced in the year 2014-15 as compared to the year 2013-14. The shorter the average collection period, the better is the quality of debtors as it implies quick payment by debtors. C. Earnings available to equity shareholders Return on equity (ROE) 100 Equity shareholders fund In the year 2013-14, 1,215 Return on equity 100 13.61% (931 7,999) In the year 2014-15, 1,468 Return on equity 100 14.58% (1,121 8,950) Return on equity has increased in the year 2014-15 as compared to the year 2013-14. This indicates high profitability of the firm. The higher the ROE, the better it is for the firm as it attracts prospective investors. Impact of Financial Leverage: Year 2013-14 2014-15 Return on equity (ROE) 13.61% 14.58% Return on Capital Employed 18.61% 21.2% Loan funds / total funds 4.02% 2.37% Shareholders fund / total funds 95.98% 97.63% Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 7

Since financial leverage is also increased in the year 2014-15 as compared to the year 2013-14, hence there is increase of return on equity in the year 2014-15 over that in the year 2013-14. This is good since due to increase in return to the equity shareholders, prospective investors will be attracted to invest money in the company. Question No. 2. (Answer any two questions. Each question carries 15 marks) 2(a). You are given the following Cash-Flow Statement of Merit Ltd. for the year ended 31.03.2015: Inflow Outflow Opening Bank Balance 1,80,000 Purchase of Fixed Assets 2,70,000 Cash from Operation 2,17,500 Redemption of Debentures 1,00,000 Issue of Shares 75,000 Payment of Income-tax 1,37,500 Closing Bank Balance (Overdraft) 69,000 Payment of Dividend 34,000 5,41,500 5,41,500 The capital structure of the company as on 31.3.2015 consisted of: Equity Share of 10 each fully paid 3,00,000 Reserves & Surplus 1,00,000 10% Debentures 2,00,000 The operating profit of the company (before tax, but after interest) for the year ended 31.03.2015 was 2,50,000. The tax rate of the company is 35%. You are required to: (I) redraft the Cash Flow Statement as per AS-3. (II) analyse the position and performance of the company on the basis of Cash Flow Statement and other information given above. Make suitable assumptions, if necessary. [15] Answer of 2(a): Cash Flows from Operating Profit: In the books of Merit Ltd., Cash Flow Statement, for the year ended 31st March 2015 Operating Profit 2,50,000 Add: Non-operating expenses Debenture Interest 20,000 Less: Increase in Working Capital (Other than Cash and Cash equivalent= 2,50,000-2,17,500) 2,70,000 32,500 2,37,500 Less: Income-Tax Paid 1,37,500 Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 8

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities 1,00,000 Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Purchase of Fixed Assets 2,70,000 Net Cash Flows for Investing Activities (-)2,70,000 Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Issue of Shares 75,000 Less : Redemption of Debentures 1,00,000 Payment of Dividend 34,000 Interest paid 20,000 1,54,000 Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities (-)79,000 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalent (-)2,49,000 Add : Cash and Cash Equivalent at the beginning 1,80,000 Cash or Cash Equivalent at the end (-)69,000 Note: Here, operating profit (after Interest) amounted to 2,50,000 but as per Cash Flow Statement (Conventional) the same was 2,17,500. The balance 32,500 (i.e., 2,50,000 2,17,500) represent the increased working capital (Other than Cash and Cash Equivalent). Analysis and Interpretation Before making any comments about the financial position, we are to compute the following related ratios relating to Cash Flow Statement: (1) Debt Coverage Ratio = = Operating Cash Flow - Interest - Dividend Total Long- term Debts 1,00,000-20,000-34,000 46,000 = = 0.23 2,00,000 2,00,000 This ratio is used to redeem the existing debts by the amount of net cash generated from operating, i.e. internally generated funds. It is not at all satisfactory, since 23% of long-term debts can be redeemed immediately. (2) Interest Coverage Ratio = Operating Cash Flow OCF Interest Payment = 1,00,000 = 5 times 20,000 This ratio highlights the firm's ability to pay interest and indicates the proportion of Interest to the generation of cash from operational activities. In short, the debt-paying capacity may be considered as satisfactory. Dividend (3) Rate of Dividend to Operating Cash Flow = 100 Operating Cash Flow 34,000 = 1,00,000 100 = 34% This ratio is found to be 34%, which indicates that percentage of cash generation through operational activities is good. Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 9

(4) Operating Cash Flows per share = Operating Cash Flow No. of Shares = 1,00,000 30,000 = 3.33. This ratio is found to be only 3.33 which is not at all satisfactory. (5) Dependence on Extra Funds for Capital Expenditure Ratio = Financing Cash Flow 100 Investing Cash Flow = (-) 79,000 (-) 2,70,000 100 = 29.26% This ratio is found to be 29.26% which indicates that external funds are used only a little portion. 2(b).

The same trend is also followed by net profit to total assets, return on shareholders' fund, net profit ratio and return on ordinary share capital. The above analysis gives an impression that the management is not at all efficient and competent. As regards Solvency, liquidity position is also not at all satisfactory since both the current ratio and liquid ratio are below the normal level of 2 : 1, and 1 : 1, respectively. In other words, the company is not able to pay its immediate maturing obligations in both the years. Both debtequity ratios are found to be quite satisfactory. So, the short-term liquidity position is not at all favourable but long-term liquidity position (on the basis of debt-equity ratio) may be considered as sound. As regards sales, debtors' turnover ratio and stock turnover ratio are found to be quite satisfactory since both of them are above their normal levels, although they are less favourable in the second year in comparison with the first year. But ratio of turnover to fixed assets is not so good enough. As regards capital structure, it is more or less equal as it is revealed by capital gearing ratio. In the second year it is improved. But the ratio of long-term loan to net worth declines. Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 13

2(c)(i). The following particulars are presented by Pi Ltd. for the year 2014-15. You are asked to calculate Sales Margin Variances: Budgeted Sales Actual Sales Product Qty.

Profits available for equity shareholders Profits available for equity shareholders Earnings per share = No. of equity shares Shine Ltd. = 20,49,000 5,00,000 shares = 4.10 Fine Ltd. = 18,06,000 = 6.02. 3,00,000 shares Analysis - Since the equity capital portion in the total capital of Shine Ltd., is high which has resulted in low earnings per share. But in case of Fine Ltd., its high leverage leading to the high earnings per share to equity stakeholders. Hence, in the capital structure decisions, high leverage of capital may be opted to increase the benefit for equity shareholders. But high leverage will carry the financial risk. In case of financial distress conditions, Shine Ltd. will be in trouble to meet the fixed payments of interest on debentures and term loans. Question No. 3. (Answer all questions.

Hence, the surplus available after meeting the fixed interest and dividend commitments, automatically accrue to the Equity Shareholders. Conclusion: Taxation does not have an impact on value per share of Exclusive Ltd due to its unlevered position. It has a marginal impact on Common Ltd due to its leverage and its after tax cost of Debt and Preference being different from Equity Expectation.

4. (a) (i) Describe the different types of Mergers. [5] Answer of 4 (a) (i): We have identified 5 different types of mergers, e.g. (a) Horizontal merger: The two companies which have merged are in the same industry, normally the market share of the new consolidated company would be larger and it is possible that it may move closer to being a monopoly or a near monopoly. (b) Vertical merger: It means the merger of two companies which are in different field altogether, the coming together of two concerns may give rise to a situation similar to a monopoly. (c) Reverse merger: Where, in order to avail benefit to carry forward of losses which are available according to tax law only to the company which had incurred them, the profit making company is merged with companies having accumulated losses. (d) Conglomerate merger: Such mergers involved firms engaged in unrelated type of business operations. In other words, the business activities of acquirer and the target are not related to each other horizontally (i.e. producing the same or competitive products) nor vertically (having relationship of buyer and supplier). (e) Co generic merger: In these mergers, the acquirer and the target companies are related through basic technologies, production processes or market. The acquired company represents an extension of product line, market participants or technologies of the acquirer. 4.

(b) (i) Are brands assets? [3] Answer: An asset is having following characteristics; There must exist some specific right to future benefits or service potentials; Rights over asset must accrue to specific individual or firm; There must be legally enforceable claim to the right or services over the asset; Asset must arise out of past transaction or event. Based on above characteristics, brands are considered as an asset. The sole purpose of establishing brand names are to incur future benefit increased sale to loyal customers increased sale price of the brand itself or Increases sale price of the brand itself. The companies with valuable brand register those names and are legally entitled to sole ownership and use of them. Brands are created through marketing efforts over time. They are the result of several past transactions and events. Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 20

(c) (i) State Investment value. Distinction between investment value and FMV. [2+4] Answer of 4 (c) (i): IGBVT defines 'Investment value' as "the value to a particular investor based on individual investment requirements and expectations". Simply stated, it gives the value of an asset or business to a specific unique investor and therefore considers the investor's specific knowledge about the business, own capabilities, expectation of risks and return and other factors. Synergies are considered to a specific purchaser. For these reasons investment value may result in higher value than FMV. Some of the factors which may cause difference between FMV and investment value are; Estimates of future cash flows or earnings; Perception of risk Tax advantages Synergy to other products Other strategic advantages An example makes the concept of investment value clear. Mr. A owns 20% of a business and the balance 80% is owned by the other people. Whether, worth of Mr. 'A will be taken as proportionate value of the business, if intrinsic value is used as standard of value. Even it can be more than the proportionate value if this 20% acquisition meets some strategic interest of the investor. The question of DOLM need not necessarily come as the investor is looking for long term strategic investment. In case of small business, the investment value should be the definition of value as only an investor with specific knowledge of the business would be interested in buying the business. Under this one values the business in the hands of specific investor. Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 23

Calculate the EPS of the Amalgamated Company vis-a-vis before takeover position of the Two Companies and Gain/Loss of the Shareholders of both the Firms consequent to amalgamation. [2+3+4] Answer of 4 (c) (ii): 1. Computation of Shares issued to Company Y Exchange Ratio: No. of Shares of X per share of Y = 3 Shares of X for 4 Shares of Y = 0.75 Share of X per Share in Y Total No. of Shares Issued = Exchange Ratio x Shares o/s in B = 0.75 x 5,000 Shares =3,750 Shares in X 2.

Observation: Shareholders of X Ltd stand to gain by 9.1% on EPS. This exchange may not find favour with Shareholders of Y Ltd, as their earnings diminish. However, if Wealth Maximization is the objective of the Shareholders, then expected Market Price based on post merger PE Multiple should be evaluated.
